Star Trek CCG Dream Cards AtoZ

A card that promises a lot of Broken Links... THE ENTRIES: [16] Cassie [17] Cave Beyond Logic, A [18] Caves of Kahless [19] cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber [20] Centaur, USS NOTES:  [16] The [SF] icon is the Science-Fiction icon which, Rules of Acquisition-like, finds itself on all the SF authors found in the Encyclopedia. Those that weren't produced back in the day, including Benny Russell, will show up in Broken Links. Cassie is the frontpiece for box P6. Source: "Far Beyond the Stars" [17] Gives changelings and Species 8472 the ability to use Nerve Pinches, among other things. The second function may allow you to download both cards at once. Source: "In the Flesh" [18] Right now, only the reporting ability can be used, but seeing as Day of Honor Program will only play on Klingon planets, this will make it more flexible. Source: "Day of Honor" [19] Since there's no way this invention would ever work, I've added the AU Door bit...

More Cardassian stuff... THE ENTRIES: [11] Cardassian Institute of Art [12] Cardassian Intelligence Bureau [13] cardiopulmonary reconstruction [14] carrot [15] Casperia Prime NOTES:  [11] Artists must be listed as such in their lores. There are only two in the actual game (Tora Ziyal and Martis Mazur - yes, con artists count), but more than half a dozen more in AtoZ. All of them become dual-aligned if they don't already belong to the Cardassian affiliation. You might use this to help steal Cardassian missions if you're not playing with them. Source: Referenced in "Sons and Daughters" [12] Finally a way to get Vorta to the Alpha quadrant! The HQ is both Cardassian and Dominion, but only plays on Cardassia. Source: Referenced in "In the Pale Moonlight" [13] The just-killed personnel may not supply the MEDICAL (or ENGINEER) necessary to save itself. Source: Referenced in "Vis à Vis" [14] Danube-class ships are runabouts. If more than one Carrot exists...

We'll start with my take on the world of Captain Proton... THE ENTRIES: [6] Captain Proton, The Adventures of [7] captain [8] carbon 60 [9] carburetor [10] Cardassian Central Archives Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [6] All Captain Proton characters played by Voyager crewmembers (usually personae of the bridge crew) are pictured in black and white. Decipher's version of this, from the Holodeck Adventures set, is Holoprogram: The Fortress of Doom (included for comparison).  Source: "Bride of Chaotica!" [7] This room was missed by the Encyclopedia people, so I put it here. Source: ENT's "Shockwave" [8] A rare dilemma that affects facilities, too. Source: "Real Life" [9] The three car artifacts (all in AtoZ) may be stocked into your draw deck legally, but may only be played if Carburator has been acquired first. Source: "Vis à Vis" [10] HQ: Central Archives [B26] is a card that allows certain cards to discard there instead...

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Like the expansions before it, Crossfire had an Enhanced "product" covering 85 entries from the Updated Encyclopedia. It would have been distributed in 6 boxes (P1-6) each with 14 Premiums and 2 regular Crossifre booster packs (a mirror of Decipher's Enhanced packs). Six cards act as frontpieces you can see through the box window, and I'll mention them as we go. THE ENTRIES: [1] Caatati [2] Caesar salad [3] Calandra Sector [4] "Call to Arms" [5] Camaro NOTES:  [1] The attribute boost counts for the present ship too, so a lone Caatati Ship is attributes 6-5-5. A fleet of 4 ships would be 9-8-8 each! Source: "Day of Honor" [2] Two reasons for the lore: 1) That's not how *I* make Caesar salad; 2) the entry is from the episode "His Way" (get it?). I've included the Romulans because of the reference...

We polish off the main run of Crossfire...  THE ENTRIES: [361] Cyrano de Bergerac [362] Cyrillian microbe [363] Cytherians (no card required) [364] cytoplasmic protein [365] cytoplasmic stimulator NOTES:  [361] Source: "The Nth Degree" [362] It nullifies Andorian Amoeba's bonuses to attributes and skills, but does not return the "merged" copy to the table. Source: Referenced in "The Q and the Grey" [363] Cytherians is a dilemma in the Basic Set. [364] Source: Referenced in "Tuvix" [365] Source: "Phage" Next up: Enhanced Crossfire! Cards: Cyrano de Bergerac, A Single Cell, Plant Compounds, Toxic Shock

Let's get medical...  THE ENTRIES: [356] cyanoacrylates [357] cybernetic regeneration [358] Cygnian Respiratory Diseases, A Survey of [359] Cyprion cactus [360] Cypriprdium NOTES:  [356] The term "cyanoacrylates" was badly used in the show to mean a substance that generated low levels of some technobabble radiation. It's really Krazy Glue! The card makes a disruptor only work for one personnel, and if you Disruptor Overload it, it kills said personnel. Source: Referenced in "The Child", pic from "No Small Parts" [357] Source: Referenced in "Ethics", pic from "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" [358] A wall with a reward other than bonus points when you pass it. Source: "Explorers" [359] A personnel relocated to a planet by a Love Interest who hasn't moved or attempted a mission since then is still considered to be under the influence of that dilemma. Source: "Genesis" [360] Only stock one of these and get ...

Nobel Prize incoming... THE ENTRIES: [351] Curie, Marie [352] Curie, Shuttlecraft [353] Curtis Creek program [354] Custodian, The [355] cutter NOTES:  [351] Dangerous Goods is AtoZ card A265. Source: Referenced in "Darkling", pic from the film Radioactive [352] What's appropriate is that the personnel gains the AU icon if they don't have it, and lose it if they do. If you're using a game mechanic whereby your personnel may report directly aboard a ship, you'll be able to report AU personnel to the Curie if your AU Door is closed. An easy way to solve Fissure Research without an AU Door too. Source: Referenced in "Evolution" [353] Source: Referenced in "Future Imperfect" [354] "Immediately" refers to right after the Artifact is acquired, of course. The extra classifications exist within the Custodian itself, not on the personnel. How useful is this? I think it can be creatively used, even though you won't be able to use the abi...

Addressing the Kazon problem... THE ENTRIES: [346] crystalline emiristol [347] crystillia [348] Culluh, Jal [349] cultural database [350] Cumberland, Acts of  Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:   [346] Probes include Investigate Probe, Alien Probe and the various Class-1, 2, etc. AtoZ Probes. A probe still has its effect before going to your hand. Source: "The Inner Light" [347] The Flowers are of course discarded to the bonus point area. Source: "In Theory" [348] The original design was NA because I didn't imagine what they would do with the Kazon in the Voyager expansion (the Culluh card is included for comparison). Since I ended up making a number of Kazon-affiliation cards later, I opted to make him Kazon here. I didn't give him Leadership because his sect fell apart because of him. We all know who wears the pants in this family. Source: "Maneuvers" [349] Cultural missions are any missions that have the word "Cultural" (lik...

Oh, we're not done with types of cryostasis... THE ENTRIES: [341] cryostatic chamber [342] cryostatic suspension [343] cryptobiolin [344] crysata [345] Crystalline Entity (no card required) NOTES:  [341] The Kevin Uxbridge of Food cards. Source: Referenced in "Flashback" [342] Use to either stop someone from rescuing their personnel, or to protect yours from Brainwash, Interrogation or Torture. Source: Referenced in "Fair Trade" [343] Trek Sense would indicate Roga Danar's STRENGTH was 9 before the procedure. Source: "The Hunted" [344] Universal, yes, but only two copies can be played: one on each side of Drayan II. Source: "Innocence" [345] The Crystalline Entity is a dilemma in the Basic Set. Next up: Addressing the Kazon problem. Cards: Food Sterilization, Cryostatic Suspension, Improved Soldier, Last Ritual

With all the Crushers already covered, I'm going to span 10 entries... THE ENTRIES: [331] crown roast of lamb [332] Cruses System (no card required) [333] Crusher, Dr. Beverly (no card required) [334] Crusher, Jack R. (no card required) [335] Crusher, Wesley (no card required) [336] cryonetrium [337] cryonics [338] cryosatellite (no card required) [339] cryostasis chamber [340] cryostasis NOTES:  [331] The Food card is discarded to the bonus points area. Source: Referenced in "The Chute" [332] Exists as the Two-Player Deck's Study Cometary Cloud mission. [333] Beverly Crusher can be found in the Basic Set as well as the First Contact expansion. [334] Jack Crusher can be found in the Alternate Universe expansion. [335] Wesley Crusher can be found in the Basic Set. [336] Allows you to either bring extra help to a crew, or remove your targeted crewmembers from the attempting ship. You can't beam everyone off the ship though. One personnel must remain.
